Description
Based on the award-winning The Elder Scrolls, The Infernal City is the first of two exhilarating novels following events that continue the story from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, named 2006 Game of the Year.
Four decades after the Oblivion Crisis, Tamriel is threatened anew by an ancient and all-consuming evil. It is Umbriel, a floating city that casts a terrifying shadow—for wherever it falls, people die and rise again.
And it is in Umbriel’s shadow that a great adventure begins, and a group of unlikely heroes meet. A legendary prince with a secret. A spy on the trail of a vast conspiracy. A mage obsessed with his desire for revenge. And Annaig, a young girl in whose hands the fate of Tamriel may rest . . . .

Horrible ending
2By Baby cortHorrible ending, I know there is a second book to read however I will not be wasting me timeBest book for Elder Scrolls fans
5By darth sheepThis book has given me a connection to the lore of the elder scrolls series that I haven’t been able to find. It has lots of twists and leaves me yearning for more. I can’t wait to read the second book in the series, and wish there were more series on the Elder Scrolls series like this one.Fantastic! Not a great finish
4By Boatgames101A truly gripping tale with fantastic descriptions, and character development. Although as gripping as this tale was, its way to quick to an end and could have been tied together a little better.Great book
5By Boring game everA great book for elder scrolls fansThe vintage chief
5By ChiefdijonWow, such a great read. More than worthy of bearing the Elder Scrolls name. 10/10""The Infernal City"
5By Corby BrownThe novel itself is a bit fast to the finish and characters do come and go, however; the overall culture and mythical aura of "The Elder Scrolls" is all about this form of writing. If you are a foundational fan of this series, and enjoy the unexpected...this novel is compelling to the history, as well as the dynamic role of adventure Bethesda Softworks brings us in the games. Fantastic job, Greg Keyes, and my thanks for continuing a fantasy that has been with me since childhood. I look forward to reading "Lord of Souls", and other novels you have written!Great read (or listen)
5By brendenzappThe book revolves around a few different characters that in the end eventually all have something in common. I had only played "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" before reading this (no the book has nothing to do with skyrim) and was humbled to hear phrases/races/places I already knew about. great exciting story and when it all comes together you definately get that "Whoaaa" feeling.(y)
5By HoopzdeloopzFantastic!Not bad.
4By ZolgarIt's not the greatest work of fiction ever written but it is certainly a nice fun read. If you're a fan of The Elder Scrolls and are looking to catch up on the events between the Oblivion crisis and when Skyrim starts then you should check this out.Failed!!
5By JjosephannahI bought the book and all it does is crash! I updated everything! I want my Money back. But I do love the game.Great book!
5By goodmovie8As a fan of the Elder Scrolls series, I was happy when I found out that a book was being written. While "Infernal City" isn't the most amazing thing I've ever read, it is a fun light read and will keep you hooked. I admit it doesn't have any of the Tamriellic lore from the games aside from taking place after the events of Oblivion but, if you want that, play the game and read the books in-game. "Infernal City" feels just like an Elder Scrolls novel should and is a fun light read. I greatly enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who likes a good fantasy story or the Elder Scrolls series.
